I got a nasty virus from a Drudge Report article not too long ago.

I had no idea how to get rid of it so I just went and restarted my computer from day 1.

I lost everything (had pics on an external hard drive), but it did get rid of the virus.

I follow Drudge on Twitter because I don’t trust his website.

NEVER leave a browser open. When you are done, shut it down.

When you say “restarted” your computer, did you mean “restored”?

Otherwise, please ‘splain:)
